Summary
Adopting a methodology of Institutional Ethnography informed by Actor-Network Theory, this book traces the practices of law and expertise from global IGO headquarters to the 'field' and back again, and through various contemporary field missions from Bosnia to Afghanistan and East Timor to Sierra Leone. Tries to respond to questions about: How is human rights law engaged in 'establishing the peace, ' 'rebuilding the nation, ' and 'restoring the rule of law' in post-conflict situations? How do human rights experts use law in their everyday work in the context of humanitarian intervention? How are law and expertise established, sustained and transformed in the field?
